Supreme Court

In political America we debate, we shout, we discuss, we argue and then we pontificate some more and finally when a decision is made by an appropriate authority, whether it’s by plebiscite or by the court, we accept. That is the essence of a democracy.

We may not like the health care law or any law that is under discussion. We may think the law is wrong or partially wrong, but it is the court’s decision and until congress creates a new law changing it, it is the law of the land.

Enter attorney Matt Davis. A former spokesman for the Republican party in Michigan. He sent out an email after the court’s decision.

QUOTE: “If government can mandate that I pay for something I don't want, then what is beyond its power? If the Supreme Court's decision Thursday paves the way for unprecedented intrusion into personal decisions, then has the Republic all but ceased to exist? If so, then is armed rebellion today justified?”

Armed rebellion; that is a seditious statement! Vocal dissent is one thing and it is a tenant of our democracy, but a suggestion of armed rebellion is idiocy and inimical to the integrity of the American ideal. His suggestion is petulance to the extreme.

Sanity does not go shoot someone because one didn’t get their way.

Mr. Davis has the right to his opinions and I and others have the responsibility as equal citizens of this republic to denounce it and him at the top our voices.
